@GreenieBugg@GogIvanka The “you’ll meet them in heaven / reunited” piece comes from the chaplain ( comforting her) and from Resnick’s altruistic filicide read, not something she said. The Chaplin in her statement said she told Lindsay that, to comfort her, to give her hope.
@Angnsam@wake_up_girl_3 God already handled the rule. Thou shalt not kill.The trial is what humans do after someone breaks it. A trial isn’t a future safety check. It’s for a crime that already happened. Cora, Dawson, and Callan weren’t safe in their own house.
@wake_up_girl_3 I wish the kids had the same advocate Lindsay has.There’s no one standing up to say what Cora’s voice sounded like, or that Dawson will never be four, or that Callan never got a first birthday. They don’t get a statement. They don’t get mercy that brings them back.
@itskikidanger@LexiTheLawNerd He consulted for Law & Order, cited an episode that hadn’t aired, and because the Yates family watched the show he called it copycat. That’s not psychiatry. Wild it wasn’t stopped. He still gets cases cause the forensic world is small and his CV is huge.
@3rdEarlPembroke@LexiTheLawNerd I believe testifying / doing a court eval is different from practicing. He isn’t treating patients in MA. I didn’t hear Resnick say he was licensed in MA either.
@authorLauraB@_Shaunie94 He’s not “basically a child psychiatrist.” Mack is board-certified in forensic psychiatry, general psychiatry, and child/adolescent psychiatry. He’s also a professor of psychiatry. Forensic is the credential that speaks to criminal responsibility.
@_Shaunie94 Jury’s last image of the week: Mack saying she was depressed, not psychotic, and still criminally responsible. Then Reddington melting down over a CV and the DSM-5.
@High_Scroller@factsdontlie10@LawyerYouKnow Lifelong work on postpartum mental health matters more to her than staying squeaky clean for one trial. Public support for Lindsay advances the bigger message she’s been pushing for years.
@darktriadtc@_nikki_wrongway@cathyrusson Maybe she didn’t expect this case to blow up. When she first got involved it probably looked like a standard expert consultation. Now that it’s national news, it becomes a platform she can lean into for the larger postpartum mental-health message she’s been pushing for years.
@MrsBhave They did. Dr. Donald Condie was called specifically for the psychopharmacology side and testified about the medications, changes, and effects from the records.
@JohnDePetroshow So she was giving her false hope .If she’s Catholic and committed the mortal sin of murdering her own children, how does she get into heaven to be “reunited” with them?
@kelly_steffee Treating this case like the natural or inevitable outcome of postpartum mental illness is both inaccurate and unfair to the vast majority of mothers who struggle and still protect their kids.
@901Lulu How did the medical system do a horrible job treating her, based on the testimony so far and the actual standard of care that exists in the US, not some ideal version that doesn’t exist?
@floridarebelmom The chaplain put other direct quotations from Lindsay into the chart. She just left out the part about the command voice. Privilege doesn’t explain that selective gap.
@kelly_steffee We were given a handout on the baby blues and postpartum depression, and the nurse went over it with us during discharge. But we never heard anything about postpartum psychosis. At my 6-week checkup they also did a postpartum depression screening.
@GogIvanka Another question to add is; When Lindsay told her mom and Patrick she was having thoughts of harming the kids, why was there no real safety plan?
